Sandcastles

The sun went down for days at a time and half this county stayed asleep
I'd throw my voice out to find my way around
I set out to find the beautiful Rocky Mountains just to clear out my tempered head
And with each passing cloud I saw your face
We all look closely at choices we have made and hope regret is void
Mistakes belong here and so do I

When dreams expire
We all lose faith
But that's what makes us who we are
If there's nothing here to give up there'd be nothing left to find
When dreams expire
We all lose faith
But that's what makes us who we are
We can build our castles and the tide will find a way to knock them down

I can feel the weather changing around me as the clouds roll from west to east
I've found a little more in this town than I thought
So current, or not, I'll keep building and never turn my head
Till I make something the ocean can't take away

When dreams expire
We all lose faith
But that's what makes us who we are
If there's nothing here to give up there'd be nothing left to find
When dreams expire
We all lose faith
But that's what makes us who we are
We can build our castles and the tide will find a way to knock them down

I spent my younger years growing and beating my dreams
So I could walk away so clean
Then I opened up my head and let the sun clear out those clouds
I swear you finally saw me smile

When dreams expire
We all lose faith
But that's what makes us who we are
If there's nothing here to give up there'd be nothing left to find
When dreams expire
We all lose faith
But that's what makes us who we are
We can build our castles and the tide will find a way to knock them down
